There is no legitimate exception to the Second Amendment for
military-style weapons, because military-style weapons are precisely
what the Second Amendment guarantees our right to keep and bear. The
purpose of the Second Amendment is to secure our ability to oppose
enemies foreign and domestic, a guarantee against disorder and tyranny.

We continue to allow the wrong questions to be asked - "why does anyone need a weapon like that?" Well, on second thought, maybe it is the right question - a weapon like that is needed in defense of the original intent of the Second Amendment - which is to say that firearms are "the peoples' liberty's teeth," according to George Washington. But, what does he know anyway?
